lust 1853.
The Visitors Greatly Pleased NTH
the City and People.

excurSlonists reached this city at 2:I5
o'clock yesterday afternoon. Though the
weather was exceedingly unpropitious the
visitors were met at the depot and cor
daily welcomed to the west by a large
delegation of Cheyenne's foremost citi-
zens, who, acting in accordance with a
time honored custom of the country, in
formed the prospective investors that the
latch string" was on the outside, and
that their %soiourn in the l~iveliest and
wealthiest city in the West should be
made enjoyable.
The Nebraska men present are OF the
class that can discuss the situation of the
real estate market much better than pros
poets for good crops. At the same time
they do not ignore the agricultural posi-
billtles Of a section in which they intend
to invest. A collection of vegetables and
cereals grown in this vicinity were on ex-
hibition in the Office of John Hess yes
terday. The quality and size of the pro-
ducts astonished a number of the Ne
biuChohoi ~ IhO BdlhCl lIuCh re-
ceived unstinted praise.
Despite the inclemency of the weather
a number of the party ~promenaded
about the city viewing the massive bust
ness establishments, magnificent resi-
dences and costly and well appointed pub
lie institutions. Everyone of the excur-
sionists comes here with the intention of
investing in Cheyenne realty, being con-
WINGED that the future of the city is
obscured only by an overshadowing
cloud of merited and unavoidable pros
perity. They are well acquainted with
the natural advantages and present con-
dition of the city and are cognizant of the
of the contiguous territory, and
consequently will not hesitate to place
their capital where the returns will ineyi-
tably be enormous.
Cheyenne people are also aware of the
fact that the lots to be sold are situated
in a desirable locality and will naturally
have a care that the visitors do not be-
come possessed of choice property for less
than its actual value.

prises exactly 15S of the leading specu-
lators of Nebraska, with a few from Colo
RADIO, Iowa and Illinois, The presenta
